Happy Spring!
03/22/2019

Happy Spring! With the Easter season quickly approaching, it is important to keep in mind safe treat choices with braces and other orthodontic appliances. Baked goods such as cookies, muffins, brownies and cupcakes are often good choices as long as hard candies and/or nuts are not present. Other orthodontic-friendly Easter treats include chocolate bunnies, M&Ms, peanut butter cups, etc. Fruits are a healthy and delicious snack as well! Keep in mind that it is important to cut up apples and stick to soft fruits. Smoothies are a great way to combine fruits and satisfy your sweet tooth.

7 Myths about Orthodontic Treatment
04/23/2018

Myth #1. Anyone who provides braces or aligners is an orthodontist.

False. While some general dentists or online companies offer braces or aligners, only an orthodontist who has taken the additional years of advanced training at an accredited residency can call themselves an orthodontic specialist or be a member of the AAO. It’s not worth the risk of permanent damage to your face and smile to allow anyone who isn’t an orthodontist to attempt to move your teeth. By selecting an AAO orthodontist, you are choosing a specialist who possesses the skills and experience to give you your best smile. Look for the AAO logo at your orthodontist’s office, or locate an AAO orthodontist using ‘Find an Orthodontist’ at aaoinfo.org/truth.

Adult Orthodontics - It's never too late!
01/15/2018

Crooked or crowded teeth aren’t always just a cosmetic issue; they also are more difficult to clean, which can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. Likewise, if your teeth don’t align properly when you bite (known as malocclusion), this can cause chewing, swallowing, and speaking problems. More and more adults are opting for orthodontic treatment and changing their lives in the process.
